This is the "Phase III" codebase for the Wikipedia project
|
|
(http://www.wikipedia.org). It is possibly usable as a
|
|
general-purpose wiki, but it was not intended as such and
|
|
there is little or no support available for using it as such
|
|
from the developers, who are busy full time supporting the
|
|
Wikipedia project. There are many good general-purpose Wikis
|
|
in the world. I personally recommend UseMod
|
|
(http://www.usemod.com/).

The code as a whole is Copyright 2002,2003 by

Many thanks to the Wikipedia regulars for testing and
|
|
suggestions.
|
|
|
|
The code is currently maintained at Sourceforge under the
|
|
project "wikipedia", module name "phase3". You can view the
|
|
code in CVS, report bugs and make feature requests there:

|
The code is written in PHP. It was tested mainly on version
|
|
4.06, but it is known to run in later versions. It requires
|
|
MySQL 3.23 or later, and PHP-MySQL. It is now running with
|
|
PHP 4.2.2 and MySQL 3.23.49 at http://www.wikipedia.org .
|
|
The code was written on and for Linux, and no attempt has
|
|
been made to make it portable to other OSs, though it may
|
|
happen to run on some. The math support in particular has
|
|
run-time dependencies on things like TeTeX and GhostScript
|
|
that are generally found in Linux but not other OSs.
